I think it was more of a reaction to another one of the cornerstones of the franchise (Parise) leaving – with him gone and Elias & Marty about to call it quits the team desperately needed to make a move to show fans that they can keep players on this team.

Not the best justification but that would be my guess, he hasn’t done much in a long while now..
